Mr. and Mrs. Gatlinburg: a coming attraction
The Smoky Mountain destination of Gatlinburg, Tenn. , is reinforcing its reputation as a wedding capital by conducting a nationwide search for a couple to be crowned "Mr. and Mrs. Gatlinburg."
"Young or old, whether you’ve been married 50 years or five, Gatlinburg wants to hear why you and your Valentine deserve the title of Mr. & Mrs. Gatlinburg," says the CVB.
Contestants are invited to submit their romantic Gatlinburg stories online and share why they should be crowned the ultimate Gatlinburg couple. The grand prize, valued at more than $1,700, is a trip back to Gatlinburg. All past visitors are eligible.
Entries can be submitted through mid-March.
Gatlinburg is described by the CVB as a "quaint, mountain getaway nestled in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains and is the ideal place to get married, with picturesque wedding chapels and romantic honeymoon spots. Gatlinburg offers the bride and groom everything needed for that perfect day."
